If I put something stupid in derivation path like m/39'/0'/0', it doesn't find it, even if I add this derivation path to ./btcrecover-master/derivationpath-lists/Electrum.txt.
Okay, I got a clarification of this in your PM.That should work, perhaps you forgot to add the chain_index?
e.g.: If the derivation path you used in Electrum is m/39'/0'/0'
The entry in electrum.txt file should be: m/39'/0'/0'/0 (for receiving addrs) and m/39'/0'/0'/1 (for change addrs)
Here's two tests because you somehow showed different derivation paths in that reply and in the PM;
My "electrum.txt" file containing the two derivation paths, each appended with internal and external chain_index:
Test1:
Electrum derivation path: m/39'/0'/0'
Result:
